A Kiwi Reddit user answered an American woman's plea for help after the woman saw her fiancee having an epileptic seizure through Skype.

The couple, Anna Messner and Melody Madill, have been dating for a year and a half after meeting online and were chatting over Skype when Madill, based in Dunedin, began to have a seizure. Miss Messner was unable to call local emergency services, so she went to Reddit for help.

Miss Messner posted a plea for help on the New Zealand sub-Reddit under the heading, "Mayday need someone to call 111". She said she didn't have international calling and asked if "someone over there" could call emergency services.

A Kiwi Reddit user saw the desperate plea and called emergency services.
